Christmas day will be rainy and close to 50 degress. UGH. 55 the day after. The rest of the week is in the mid to upper 30s .I SHOULD NOT COMPLAIN! I will be able to get some walks in! I am super happy about that.  ***  Thinking about  *** All the last minute details for Christmas. I'm waiting on a few gifts to arrive, which will need to be wrapped. I'm working 3.5 days this week.

  You can visit Sandra and join HHM HERE  *** Past week's pondering*** I spent most of the weekend not feeling well. Not sure if I have a bug or what. Lots of nausea and a headache mostly. I still got quite a bit done this weekend though.                                        *** The weather in my neck of the woods***   The weather is strange. This morning the "feels like" weather was -6, yet in a few days we are going to be 45.  You never know what you are going to find!  ***  Thinking about  *** Finishing up my Christmas shopping. Finances. 2026 things and stuff.    *** What I am wearing ***  A black T-shirt and yoga pants. Warm wool socks.  *** Books I'm reading ***    Currently: Still nothing really.  Bible: Acts Reading Plans: I'd just like to read again :(    *** What's on my tv ***   YouTube - A l...

You can visit Sandra and join HHM HERE  *** Past week's pondering*** Hello lovely sisters. I'm typing this up on Sunday with my furry friend Ollie curled up at my feet and snow falling softly out my window. I had a long work week, but I got the Christmas tree up and the house decorated. I also went to my local Salvation Army and found a few treasures for a dollar apiece! They choose a color each week and on Friday & Saturday, that color is 5 items for $5! I went in to find a warm, soft scarf and left with a cartload! I have a bunch I'm decluttering and donating as well, a box of women's clothing (some still with tags, I'm terrible at returning things) several purses, and three bags of men's clothes from Jeff.  My sister is having an ultrasound this week to see how badly damaged her liver is. This is the same thing we went through over 7 years ago - but I am not sure if she will be able to bounce back this time. The entire family is under a blanket of gloom, ...

Happy Homemaker Monday - Happy December!!!!

  You can visit Sandra and join HHM HERE  *** Past week's pondering*** Hello beautiful sisters. I pray you are all doing well.  Jeff was here visiting last week for Thanksgiving, and everyone had a wonderful time. My Dad was so happy and he is just so fond of Jeff. It warms my heart that my soon-to-be husband and my Dad get along so well. We also spent an evening with his mom and brother. We had a lovely Polish dinner (stuffed cabbage, dumplings, cabbage, etc so good!) and a nice time talking about family traditions, music, decorating, and future plans.  Jeff made it back Up North safely, praise God, and will be back in a few weeks for Christmas. I believe we should have our wedding date set before the ball drops on NYE! We've had to put it off for one thing after another - mostly personal and family health/illness/surgical concerns! But, we've realized there will be no end to those, so we are going to move ahead with our plans of a small, family church wedding....

Happy Homemaker Monday - Happy Thanksgiving!

                                     You can visit Sandra and join HHM HERE   Last week was pretty good. I went on walks 6 out of 7 days, and 5 of them were prayer walks. My eating has been a bit out of control - but the last few days it has been getting better. My sister's chirrhosis is causing upheaval in the family. She's really sick and we won't know how bad it is until after testing in December.            *** The weather in my neck of the woods***   Monday - 48 cloudy Tuesday - 51 and rain Wednesday - 47 and rain/snow (low of 32)  Thursday - 38 with small chance of snow Friday - 35 and cloudy  Saturday - 33 and snow Sunday 37 and snow   *** What I am wearing ***  True crime addict t-shirt Black pants Black socks with pink flowers  *** Book I'm reading ***    I'm currently reading:         ...
